UN threatens to end revived Korean truce talks
UN negotiators warned at Panmunjom that renewed armistice talks could break off unless the Communists soon present a concrete prisoner exchange proposal. Gen Morrison said the UN command will not engage in protracted debates and must see action. Washington officials privately saw a faint hopeful thread as talks paused after a 39 minute meeting with no definite reply from the Communists on accepting a neutral state to custody of prisoners unwilling to return to Communist rule. The Communists suggested Red China or Czechoslovakia, but Switzerland was rejected. The five member delegations met briefly and would reconvene, with continuation noted on later pages.
